Maybe because he was socially unsuccessful as a man and the society he lives in has decided femininsing yourself and becoming a proto tranny is something you can do. Idk, there are lots of reasons, depends on the place and time. They might experience "dysphoria" or whatever, but that's just the weight of their expectations and desires to be feminine weighing on them. It's generally not some sort of naturally occuring feeling of not beloning in your male body.
People do all sorts of things as part of a trend, and I mean trend in sort of a crude way. Actual psychological analysis has shown that things like transgenderism and suicide are "socially contagious" and so in a sense are trends.
